ISO question....

[spark802]

Hello,
How can raise the ISO setting in manual mode?   I want 10,000 or so,  or 12000.
I know I can expand the iso in movie mode, i have already seen a tut on that.

I want a higher iso for my astrophotography like I get with my chdk hack on my Canon G-12.

any help would be great

long answer: ISOs higher than 3200 are scaled digitally and can be applied in post as good as in camera.
if anything can be done (without a lot of fuzz) in post processing, its not focus of ML

this will be an impetus to improve my processing skills. I have the free version of CS2, I'm too cheap for anything higher up.

I should also clarify, I wanted that higher ISO for my widefield images like the one I've posted below. That was 10k ISO WITH CHDK. For my narrowfield images I use 800 ISO. Here is also a link to some of my other work....

See if you can update Camera Raw.  Latest version is 8.1
That's all you really need unless you want to get into advanced processing.

The latest ACR version working in CS2 is 3.7.
Troubled RAW shooters with cameras not supported by 3.7 are able to use the most recent DNG converter (which is free and works standalone) to convert CR2 to DNG. Alas, with CS2 you will not be able to use any improvement implemented in later ACR versions.
